Frank D. Guidone

Frank D. Guidone is a declared insider of Measurement Specialties Inc, with filings sourced from SEC (Form 4). Between 10 March 2005 and 9 October 2014, the trades on record add up to 70 filings.

In open-market terms, that means 18 purchases worth €464k on one side and 35 sales worth €7.5M on the other. Netting one side against the other leaves €7.0M of net selling. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. The rest of the record consists of 4 share grants and 8 option exercises. 2014 to date brings no purchases and 3 sales.

In size, the median ticket on the buying side is €20k.

The latest filing, published on 14 October 2014, reports a transaction of €2.2M in Measurement Specialties Inc. The clock since the last published purchase (26 November 2008) now reads 6,541 days. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4).
